Trump Is Already Exhausted On His Very First Foreign Trip

Maybe it's the jetlag. Maybe it's navigating all of the complex and unfamiliar social norms. Maybe it's just that feeling you get when you can't sleep in your own bed. Whatever it is, Trump is already exhausted on his first trip abroad. Maybe that sounds like you after a few days of traveling, but you're not the president of the United States.

But as you've no doubt learned by now, President Trump doesn't play by the same rules as politicians have before him. He's allowed to golf almost every weekend without facing questions about it. He's allowed to send Ivanka to represent him because he was tired. It's totally fine if he says "Islamic extremism" instead of "Islamist extremism," departing from his planned speech, and then has a White House official explain that the gaffe happened because he was "just an exhausted guy."
